4 reviewed claims

University of Bristol guidance for taught degree programmes uses a four-category system for AI use in assessments, from Category 1 (prohibited) to Category 4 (integral, AI required). Using AI or translation tools for more than generating occasional short phrases or checking basic grammar and spelling is treated as cheating unless assessment instructions allow more comprehensive use. For research degrees, generative AI tools may not be used to write any text used in theses or APM reports.

Bewijs 1
To be awarded a research degree, you must meet several key standards in your research training. One of these is the ability to write about your research in your own words. This critical research skill is tested through your thesis and through your annual progress monitoring (APM) reports. For this reason, you are not permitted to use generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, to write any text that is used in your thesis or in your APM reports.
